Took my motorscooter to the gun show and then to the BlogMeet, hooray! --Longest trip of the season so far.
The Indy 1500 was another good one, though the big booksellers had been sidelined in the South by truck trouble. (I missed them -- they have a lot of good firearms-type books and one of the most wide-ranging politics sections I've seem, from Chomsky and Marx to Rand and way farther right). Table layout was a little more open; it appeared they'd made the center lane a bit narrower and widened the rest. Saw quite a few interesting arms, purchased only ammo. Colt revolvers seem to be trending up, though most of what I saw on offer was collector-grade, often too pretty to shoot.
The BlogMeet was good, too -- Tam, Nathan, Mr. and Mrs. Shomes, Old Grouch, The Jack, Don, and new attendee Fast Richard. The kitchen staff at Plump's Last Shot wondered at the sudeen uptick in orders for their bacon-wrapped, deep-fried Butler Dog -- yes, that was us. (Photo and links will have to wait, sorry). Interesting conversation this time, including How Not To Invade A Small Island and The Jack's recent ka-boom...which he covers in some detail.

Perhaps it was the hat, but I was there, too :)

Oh, dear! I didn't mean to leave you out.
'S'okay. I sort of had the impression that you weren't feeling well at the end. Hope either my impression was wrong, or that you feel better now :)
best wishes, Roberta.
I was indeed feeling a bit...under the weather. I got better.
Hope all goes well with your dr visit.
